Writings and musings on the eccentric beauty of sacrifice. Come journey and write with us. We are resolved to capture something positive in a troubled world and laugh when we can along the way. This, then, is dedicated in Loving Memory to LCpl. Aaron C. Austin, USMC KIA Fallujah, Iraq on April 26, 2004. Rock On...

Blue Star Family and Friends

About the Blue Star Family & Friends.


Primary Purpose:
The primary purpose of creating the Blue Star Blogroll is to facilitate a network of bloggers who have a special and sincere interest in the well-being of soldiers serving as part of the United States Armed Forces. Allied forces are also welcome.


Hopefully, it will help us find each other and provide a network of support for those of us with a child serving our country.

Eligibility:
First, get an understanding of what the Blue Star Banner stands for. The Blue Star Banner was first introduced during World War I to indicate that a child was serving the country in the military.


A summary of the history and meaning of the Blue Star Banner can be found at this. The post also contains links to other sites that give more information about the Blue Star Banner.

Secondly, but most importantly, members of the Blue Star Blogroll support our troops. Regardless of differences of opinion, we are united in our support and appreciation of the men and women in the Armed Forces.

Primary members of the Blue Star Blogroll would be anyone who has a child serving in the military.

Other members of the Blue Star Blogroll are relatives and friends of our military men and women.

If a family loses a military member, their Blue Star turns Gold.
